I'Claim. (01. 132-185) I This invention relates to improvements inhandkerchiefs and more especially to a novel handkerchief of the typedesigned to be carried by the hand for ornamental purposes. f Y

The primary object of the invention is to provide a novelty handkerchiefhaving a pocket connected thereto for the purpose of carrying a powderpuff, compact or the like.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the

invention consists in the novel features hereinafter described indetail, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and more particularly edout in the appended claim.

In the drawing: i

Fig. 1 is a plan view of the chief,

Fig. 2 is an elevationof the same in folded position and illustratingits appearance when suspended from a finger.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of a detail taken on theline 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of the handkerchief.

Referring to the drawing, 5 designates a rectangular sheet of anysuitable textile material forming the base or body of the handkerchief.A patch 6 has its lower edge I and its side edges 8 sewed to the sheetbut the upper edge is left unsecured so that the pocket 9 thus formedmay be used for the reception of various articles. The patch may be ofthe same textile material as the sheet 5 or may be of a differenttextile material. In any event the pocket will be lined by liningpatches l0 and II which will also be sewed to the sheet 5 along thelines! and 8.

Between the upper edges of the patches 6 and II, a strip I2 is insertedbetween and sewed to these patches and this strip carries one half l3 ofpoint-,

improved handkera hookless fastener. A similar strip I4 is insertedbetween the upper edge of the patch l0 and the sheet Sand is sewed inposition, and this strip carries -the .other half I5 of the=hooklessfastener. 3

A closing member It for said fastener cooperates with the parts l3 andl5.and has a conventional handle I'l.

A ribbon l8 or the like is sewed to one of the upper corners of thepocket to provide finger loops 10 I"! through which a finger may beinserted for carrying the handkerchief. I

i It is obvious that the handkerchief and pocket may be made of anysuitable textile fabric, but I prefer to make the same of crepe orchiffon.

From the foregoing, it is believed the invention may be readilyunderstood and it is apparent that changes may be made in the exactdetails disclosed without departing from the spirit of the invention asexpressed in the claim. 20
